He also angers Davis by suggesting the governor is linked to a bribery scandal.

CITY OF INDUSTRY -- Republican candidate Bill Simon on Saturday blamed Gov. Gray Davis' handling of the energy crisis for the state's economic woes and promised to lower power rates if elected governor Nov. 5.

GO BILL!!!

Saw a 3 minute piece on BillSimon last night on KTVU 2 San Fran and Randy Shandobil used every possible opportunity to rap Simon and make him seem weird.

Screw these miserable political reporters who couldn't recognize a good man much less a skunk.

I enjoyed the cartoons, but the worst thing Davis did was order power and refuse to pay for it. That unpaid debt has challenged the solvency of energy companies and neighboring states. In my mind, it is the reason behind the Enron bankrupcy, which put 60,000 people out of work.

He may be friends with reactionary dockworkers unions who now earn ave $100,000/yr, but he is no friend of ordinary people who work for a living and need politicians to lay off demonizing and destroying their companies.

The only way to decrease rates is to make more power available. Good luck with that, Mr Simon.

Dump Davis.

And I am sure you also belive that Enron's 'creative' accounting had nothing at all to do with the bankrupcy.

Has it been already posted or is there a website or other place to go to see all the conservative recommendations on the judges and state ballot propositions? It's hard to figure out this ballot.

Thanks, Ernest_at_the_Beach! I'm very flattered :)

If you happen to run across a thread on the judges, please bump it to CalGov2002. I would like to read what people say about the judges they know or have observed.

I changed my mind on Prop 51 after reading part of it (to No on 51, because it mostly goes to mass transit and other things that don't improve our highways), and also to No for CA Supreme Court Associate Justice Kathryn Werdegar, but I didn't update my profile immediately. The rest of my profile is probably unrelated to your voting districts.

I plan to vote NO on all the propositions (except I haven't decided 48), and No to all the justices except Marvin Baxter (and some undecideds for my court of appeal).
